Procurement, the League against Busia: “Serious sentences, he can no longer lead the Anac”

The League vs Joseph Busiapresident of the National Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC), who asked the government to correct the new Procurement Code showing perplexity about the “deregulation” celebrated by the Minister of Transport Matthew Salvini. “Serious, unspeakable and uninformed statements by President Busia on the Salvini Code: if he talks like this about thousands of mayors and thinks they are all corrupt, he can no longer stay in that role – he declares Stephen Locatelliresponsible for Local Authorities of the League – Busia has control duties, instead he certifies that he is biased, not neutral and therefore not credible”.

In an interview with Republic Commenting on the new Procurement Code, Busia explains: “Focusing only on speed risks going to the detriment of transparency, competition, protection of workers and ultimately the quality of public works”. He points out on Salvini’s reflection that the Code will bring more speed, more construction sites, more work. “The emphasis on times – too long – is right, but proceeding by direct assignment is not the way: it risks excluding the best companies, damaging the Public Administration, companies and citizens”, replies Busia.

The Northern League deputies in the Environment Commission Gianpiero Zinzi, Alessandro Benvenuto, Gianangelo Bof, Elisa Montemagni and Graziano Pizzimenti also attacked the president of the Anac. “The League has full faith in local administrators, unlike the president of Anac who evidently considers them corrupt and corruptible. Busia, before shooting zero on the mayors and on the Salvini code, should think about what future he wants for Italy. We want efficiency and red tape for a fast country, there’s no doubt about it”.
